The Bible portrays sin as a fatal disease that affects all humanity, inherited from Adam and leading to spiritual death.
In Scripture, sin is consistently depicted as a disease, considered fatal to both body and soul. All individuals are inherently sinful due to the original sin of Adam, which results in a sinful nature that is carried through generations. Romans 5:12 states, 'Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned.' This affliction is fatal in God's eyes, leading to spiritual decay and separating us from Him. Sin is not just a minor inconvenience; it is a serious condition that corrupts our nature and hinders our ability to worship God.
